The challenge

Garry has spent over 20 years behind a camera. Bear Media shoots photography, video and drone content for businesses across West Lothian and Edinburgh, and website design is one of the services he sells. The problem was the workflow behind it: browser-based AI site builders got him a working site, but every change ran through the tool, and what he could build was capped by what the builder allowed.

For a studio whose whole pitch is visual quality, that ceiling matters. His own website is his shop window, and it needed to carry the kind of interactive, media-heavy experience his camera work deserves, not a template with photos dropped in.

What we built

We mentored Garry on moving from browser-based site builders to an agentic AI coding workflow, working with a coding agent directly on the code. Same founder, same design eye, but now nothing between him and what he wants to build.

He used that workflow to build the new bear-media.com himself: an interactive multimedia site with a full-screen hero carousel, per-client project galleries and a journal, carrying his own photography end to end. The earlier mentoring on Google Business Profile, AEO and SEO he now offers as a service line to his own clients, and the relationship runs both ways: Garry shoots and fine-tunes video for SummLabs.

How we did it

From site builder to coding agent

We moved Garry off the browser-based builder ceiling and onto an agentic coding workflow, so the site is real code he directs, not a template he rents.

Teach the workflow, not deliver the site

We did not build bear-media.com. Garry did. The mentoring gave him a web-development workflow he owns and can reuse on every client site he sells.

Get found, then convert

Earlier mentoring covered Google Business Profile optimisation, AEO and SEO, so the studio shows up when local businesses search, and in AI answers too.

Highlights

A site that finally matches the camera work

The new bear-media.com is an interactive, media-first experience: hero carousel, project galleries and client showcases, all his own photography, built by him.

Mentoring that runs both ways

Garry now shoots and fine-tunes video for SummLabs, our own AI marketing product, so the partnership works in both directions.
